The Magi had courage
going to Herod about
the birth of a usurper.
They boldly asked
and did not soften
their intention
to render homage.
“They knew his politics
his trickery, perfidy,
and cruelty… the wrath
and danger it would draw”[1]
The grace of the Spirit
gives witness
and we see in them
the Gift of Fortitude
The Magi’s epiphany
revealed to them and us
the presence of Jesus
and what it means
“God exalted Jesus…
to grant repentance
and forgiveness of sins.”[2]
